RUDOLPH JARY, OF CHICAGO, ILLINOIS.

AEROPLANE.

Application led February 25, 1913. Serial No. 750,543.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Aug. 26, 12.213.

To all whom, it may on'ccrn Beit. known that I, RUnoLrir JAur, a former subject. of the King ot Austria- I-lnngary, but who have declared my intention of becoming a. citizen of the llnited States, and a resident of the city of Chi cago, county of Coolr,and State of Illinois, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Aeroplanes, of which the followingis a specification.

My the object of this improvement is to prt vide an'aeroplane which is adapted to carry a number of persons and in which a plurality of supporting planes is furnished, certain of which planes are adapted to be removed when not needed.

'A further object is t-o produce a. simple and effective device of the character inentioned. Other objects will appear hereinafter.

The invention consists in the combinations and arrangements of parts hereinafter described and claimed.

The invention will be best understood by reference to the accompanying drawings forming a part of this specification, and in which,

Figure 1 is a plan view of an Yaeroplane embodying my lnvention, Fig. 2, a front elevation of the same, Fig. 3a side view of the same, and Fig. 4, an enlarged fragme'ntal section illustratimr the m'eans for attaching the removable planes.

The preferred form of construction as illustrated in the drawings comprises a frame 5 in`which is operatively mounted a motor G adapted to drive the propeller 7. Said frame 5 is provided with," wheels adapted for use in alighting and/ starting the aeroplane. The a'eroplane is 'also provided with aconventional steer-i1 g rudder 9 and elevating Arudder 10. Sa` elevating and steering mechanisms ma be.o any preferred' or conventional des'ign and op- `erated in the conventional or any desired manneri. The controlling wiresl/l running from said. rudder and elevating plane extend into convenient position to the operator in the ordinary manner. The frame work, motor, propeller, rudder and elevating planesare such as are already in common use but ny invention 'relates to the supporting planes and the .car adapted to carry passengers .and the like. The supporting planas are arranged as in the biinvention relates to aeroplanes and.

plane type. I arrange two uppersll'pporting planes 12 on the frame 5 and Space them apart sutlieiently far to insert u third supporting plane 13 which is preferably in two sections, divided in the center and extended beyond the ends of [said planes 12 substantially as indicated.' Immediately beneath the upper supporting planes. 12, are lower supporting planes 14 which are also spaced apart substantially as shown. The supporting planes 13 are adapted to be removed when not needed, by removing the bolts 15 which are shown in detail in'Fi". 4. 'The use of the removable supporting planes 13 will only be necessary when.

greater weights are carried,'the supporting planes 12 and 14 being suflicient when lesser weights are carried. i

Suspended from the frame 5 is an inelosed car 16 havingr windows 17 and a door 18 through which freight or passengers may be passed. Depcnded vfrom the car 16 are supporting wheels 19 adapted to support the car y,und aeroplane when the device is.

on thcground and to facilitate starting and alighting. The forward portion of the car 16 is/providcd with an opening subst-.iutially as indicated at Q0 .in Fig. 1 through which the operator enters the operators compartment 21. The compartment 21 is provided with a seat 22 for use by the op erator and the cont-rolling and operating mechanisms of'thc aeroplane, not shown, are positioned in the compartment 2l in any preferred or conventional manner. )The compartment 2l is preferably formed f'entirely ot' a transparent. substance so that the operator-s vision will not be impaired. While I have illustrated and described the preferred form of construction for Carrying my invention into effect, this iscapa-A ble of variation and modificationvit-hout depart-ing from tln` spiritof the invention. I, therefore, do not. wish to be limited to the exact det-nils of construction s t forth, but desire to avail myself of suc varia- ',tions and modifications as come within the planes with their outer ends extending beyond the outer ends 'of said supporting planes; meansremovably securing the latera-l edges of said removable supporting planes to adjacent edges of said spaced' supporting planes; and lower supporting planes in said framepositioned under said spaced upper` supporting planes, substantially as described.

2. An aeroplane eomprising'a frame; two laterally disposedupper supporting planes spaced apart in a substantially horizontal plane in said frame; removable supporting planes between said spaced Asupporting planes having their adjacent ends spaced mart and their outer ends extended be' yond the outer ends of said spaced supporting planes; bolts in the edges of said spaced supporting planes and said removable supporting planes reinovably securing the lateral edges of the latter with adjacent edges of the. frame; and lower supporting planes in said frame directly under said upper spaced supporting planes, substantially as described. e

In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specication in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
